  2. Introduction • Motivation for research • Simultaneous Recurrent Neural Network (SRN) • Local Stability of SRN • Global stability of SRN Werbos, Paul many recent articles – some unpublished! Serpen et al., The Simultaneous Recurrent Neural Network for Addressing the Scaling Problem in Static Optimization, Neural Systems, Vol. 11, No. 5, 2001, pp. 477-487. FOR MORE INFO...

  3. Motivation • Simultaneous Recurrent Neural (SRN) network has been shown to have the potential to address large-scale static optimization problems: located relatively high quality solutions. • SRN is trainable: implies that it can learn from prior search attempts (A Hopfield net cannot do this!) • Computational complexity for SRN simulations is much less again compared to the Hopfield and its derivatives.

  4. Research Goals • Understand the stability and convergence properties of the SRN dynamics. • Establish stable dynamics following initialization. • Establish stability while training the SRN with a fixed-point algorithm (recurrent backprop). • Apply the SRN to (large-scale) static optimization problems.

  5. Research Goals - detailed Initialization of weights to guarantee existence of at least one or more fixed points in the state space of the SRN dynamics. Stability as weight matrices are being modified while learning with a fixed-point algorithm, i.e., recurrent backpropagation. Assessing the computational power of the SRN as a static optimizer for large-scale problem instances.

  8. Analysis of SRN Dynamics Local stability analysis SRN dynamics linearized at hypercube corners (that are also equilibrium points) (Local) stability conditions for hypercube corner equilibrium points A theorem...its proof (elsewhere)

  9. Equilibrium Points in State Space of SRN Dynamics SRN dynamics Output layer Hidden layer SRN dynamics in matrix form in terms of z:

  10. Equilibrium Points of SRN Dynamics Equilibrium Points of SRN Dynamics Hypercube Corners zk = 1 or zk = 0 for k = 1, 2, …, K Points interior, on the surface, and on the edges of the hypercube

  11. Stability of SRN Dynamics - Linearized Eigenvalues of SRN dynamics linearized at hypercube corners (equilibrium points): for k = 1, 2, … , K.

  12. Stability of SRN Dynamics - linearized Set of inequalities derived from eigenvalues through stability condition for equilibrium points. = 0 for = 1 for

  13. A Stability Theorem for SRN Dynamics For any given hypercube corner in the state space of SRN dynamics, which is configured for static combinatorial optimization, i.e. with high-gain neurons, one hidden layer, one output layer, no external input, and operating in associative memory mode, it is possible to define the weight matrices U and V to establish that hypercube corner as a stable equilibrium point in a local sense.

  14. Simulation Study Case 1 - 2X4 SRN Methodology: Create 75 instances of U & V then, observe set of stable equilibrium points thru multiple random initializations. Fixed points (hypercube corners) 48 Limit cycles - cycle length of 2 12 Stable non-hypercube points 19 * all 16 hypercube corners appeared as stable equilibrium points for 75 instances of weight matrices. Case 2 - 2X100 SRN Case 3 - 5X10000 SRN Case 4 - 5X25000 SRN

  15. Global Stability of SRN? • The SRN paradigm is closely related to a number of globally asymptotically stable recurrent neural network algorithms! • BAM is a special case of SRN. • ART 1 & 2 cores are similar topologies. • Significant simulation-based empirical studies conducted by authors suggest global stability. • However, no Liapunov function yet!

  16. Conclusions • A theorem demonstrates that there exist real forward and backward weight matrices for SRN dynamics, which will induce stability of any given hypercube corner as an equilibrium point. • This theoretical finding was also validated by extensive simulation-based empirical studies, some of which was reported in a recent journal article: Serpen et al., The Simultaneous Recurrent Neural Network for Addressing the Scaling Problem in Static Optimization, Neural Systems, Vol. 11, No. 5, 2001, pp. 477-487.
